Why is there edible gold in the honey?

Edible gold has been used in gastronomy for centuries as a symbol of luxury, elegance, and exceptionality. Historically, gold was considered a symbol of wealth and power, and its use in food was a privilege of royal courts and the upper classes. Today, its use remains very prestigious, especially in luxury dishes and on special occasions.

 

24-carat and 22-carat gold are ideal for use in edible gold because they are biologically inert, meaning they are safe to consume. This type of gold contains no impurities that could cause chemical reactions in the body and passes through the digestive system without absorption, ensuring its safety for human health.

 

While lower carats, such as 18kt, may contain unwanted alloy metals unsuitable for consumption, 24kt gold is guaranteed safe and pure. Moreover, thanks to its high quality and purity, gold has an intense shiny yellow hue that adds a luxurious look and makes it ideal for gastronomy and luxury products.

 

The choice of 24-carat or 22-carat gold is the standard in the food industry because it meets food safety regulations and is approved for direct consumption. This standard is supported by long tradition and experience in gastronomy, where edible gold is considered a symbol of elegance and exceptionality, adding prestige and value to every dish.

 

Gold itself has no taste but adds a beautiful visual effect that enhances the appeal of dishes. Combined with honey, whose natural properties include antibacterial, antioxidant, and antifungal effects, it creates a unique and luxurious sensory experience.

 

The use of edible gold in honey brings not only an aesthetic effect but also increases the product’s value. This exclusive element is often used to enrich special products meant to be considered "exceptional" or "precious." Gold in honey is used mainly for its prestige value and is an ideal gift for those who appreciate both taste and appearance.

 

In modern gastronomy, edible gold is associated with luxury gifts such as honey with edible gold, which becomes not only a delicious treat but also a great way to impress and enchant.

What are the traditional beekeeping methods in Greece?

Beekeeping in Greece has a long history dating back to antiquity. Traditionally, horizontal clay hives known as "tub shaped top-bar hives" were used, allowing easy access to honey.

These hives were often made of ceramics or wicker and designed to support natural bee behavior. In southern Greece, nomadic beekeeping was common, with beekeepers moving hives between regions depending on seasonal flower availability.

What are the main differences between Greek and Czech honeys?

Greek honey and its exceptional properties

Greek honey is known for its intense flavor and distinct aroma, which result from the unique plant biodiversity and climatic conditions of the country. Bees in Greece collect nectar from various flowers and herbs growing in the Mediterranean climate, giving the honey a complex and aromatic taste. The region is rich in flowers, herbs, and trees ideal for producing honey with unique properties.

One of the most prized types is thyme honey, mainly produced in areas where wild thyme grows. This honey is highly valued for its light color, intense taste, and distinctive herbal aroma characteristic of thyme nectar.

Thyme honey also possesses antibacterial and antiseptic properties, attributed to the high content of flavonoids and phenolic acids naturally found in thyme. These properties are especially prized in traditional Greek herbal medicine, where honey is considered a natural remedy.

Plant biodiversity in Greece, combining a wide range of flowers, herbs, and trees, creates specific honeys that cannot be replicated in other regions. From citrus blossom honey to wild thyme honey – each type has its characteristic aroma and taste shaped by the microclimate and flora of the area.

Czech honey: Diversity and specifics

In the Czech Republic, honey is traditionally produced mainly from flower nectar and honeydew honey. Czech honey has a different character influenced not only by climatic conditions but also by the types of plants visited by bees. The most common types include honey from linden, acacia, as well as sunflower or rapeseed fields.

Regarding crystallization, Czech honeys have a different ratio of fructose to glucose compared to other European honeys. This ratio affects the speed at which honey crystallizes.

For example, acacia honey has a low glucose content, meaning it crystallizes very slowly, while honey from rapeseed or sunflower flowers has higher glucose and crystallizes faster. This affects not only the appearance but also the texture and taste of the honey.

Honeydew honey, typical for Czech forests, is produced when bees collect nectar from forest aphids, creating a darker, richer, and more aromatic honey. This honey is especially valued for its strong taste and is often recommended for health support as it is rich in minerals and antioxidants.

Taste and texture:

Greek honey, especially thyme honey, has an intense, herbal aroma and lighter color, while Czech honey often has a milder and crystallizing texture, appreciated for its ease of use and long shelf life.

Climate and biodiversity:

Greek climate allows bees to collect nectar from a wide range of Mediterranean plants, creating various honeys with intense aromas. Czech honey is more influenced by different flowers and honeydews, resulting in a broader spectrum of flavors, but generally milder and less aromatic honeys.

Properties and uses:

Greek thyme honey is not only more aromatic but, due to its high phenol content, is considered a natural antibiotic. Czech honey excels in natural medicine, especially honeydew honey, which is recommended to boost immunity and help with digestive problems.

In conclusion

Each honey has unique properties determined not only by plant biodiversity and climatic conditions but also by the production method.

Whether it is Greek thyme honey with its intense taste or Czech honey with delicate floral notes, each has its place in the kitchen and traditional healing. Each type of honey offers specific benefits and flavor experiences that are invaluable for every lover of natural products.

What is the history of using edible gold in cuisine?

Edible gold has been used in culinary arts since ancient Egypt, where gold was consumed during rituals as a symbol of divinity. In medieval Europe, edible gold was used to decorate dishes at royal courts as a symbol of luxury and prestige.

During the Renaissance, gold powder was added to medicines for its alleged healing properties. Today, edible gold is mainly used to decorate luxury dishes and beverages, although its health benefits are not scientifically proven.

Why is thyme honey with edible gold more expensive?

The higher price of thyme honey with edible gold is due to several factors:

• Rarity of thyme honey: Thyme honey is less common because bees producing this honey have limited access to thyme flowers, which increases its value.
• Addition of edible gold: Edible gold is an expensive and luxurious ingredient. Adding 24-karat gold flakes to the honey increases its aesthetic value and exclusivity, which is reflected in the price.
• Handmade production and packaging: The process of infusing gold into honey and packaging it is often done by hand, which raises production costs.

These factors together contribute to the higher price of thyme honey with edible gold on the market, making this honey not only delicious but also an exceptionally exclusive product available in this luxury gift collection.
